TAC Tactical Aid Canteen

ABSTRACT

An adult water bottle provides means for storing and transporting water, but when it comes to wilderness survival the water bottle has been lacking a vital aspect for centuries. The TAC bottle makes day hikes as well as backpacking trips or urban adventures much safer for the user while still maintaining its core purpose to store and transport water. The ease of use of the TAC bottle. 
     An infant bottle cap provides a means for storing powdered infant formula which is then installed upon a conventional baby bottle. The device comprises a cap attachment which attaches to the bottle and an internal cavity which separates the nipple from the powdered formula. The cap attachment is hollow, allowing for the storage of formula inside said cap. The top surface of the cap further comprises a hinged and latching lid for filling the cap with powdered formula and pouring the formula into water within the bottle when ready for use.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates generally to an adult water bottle, and in particular, to a cap which provides extra security and comfort when dealing with wilderness/potentially dangerous environments.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Water bottles have been a part of human existence for centuries. They provide valuable transportation of water across any distance. The problem with water bottles so far is although they provide life giving water to the carrier they have never been able to fend off an attacking predator, making them useless for personal defense.

No attempts have been made to redesign water bottles into something that's not only useful for transporting water, but also acts as a personal defense tool/safe device in desperate times.

This water bottle accomplishes both in form and function. It provides the basic ability to transport water in a clean, enclosed environment while giving the user the ability to defend him/her self against any attacking predator, provide survival tools in certain situations, or keep valuable artifacts out of view.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The inventor has recognized the aforementioned inherent problems and lack in the function/utility and observed that there is a need for a water bottle and cap which provides defense, security, and safety as well as the ability to transport water.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present embodiments of the invention to solve this problem. The inventor has addressed this need by developing a water bottle and water bottle cap which provides storage, safety, and defense.

To achieve the above objectives, it is an object of the present invention to provide a metal water bottle and metal water bottle cap portion with an attachable blunt end rod which will serve as a defense tool.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a locking quick release thread inside the water bottle and on the water bottle cap for fast water drinking ability/defensive deployment.

Yet still another object of the present invention is to provide a removable threaded rod end in which to attach various other tools used for safety/storage/purification/defense/survival/art/entertainment/creation/surveillance/power . . . .

Yet still another object of the present invention is to provide the cap with a rubber gasket which will aid in sealing the contents of the water bottle from outside elements.

Yet still another object of the present invention is to provide the cap with ergonomically comfortable handle which will provide better control of the water bottle in various circumstances.

Further objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from a consideration of the drawings and ensuing description.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

The best mode for carrying out the invention is presented in terms of its preferred embodiment, herein depicted within FIGS. 1 and 2. However, the invention is not limited to the described embodiment and a person skilled in the art and utility will appreciate that many other embodiments of the invention are possible without deviating from the basic concept of the invention, and that any such work around will also fall under scope of this invention. It is envisioned that other styles and configurations of the present invention can be easily incorporated into the teachings of the present invention, and only one particular configuration shall be shown and described for purposes of clarity and disclosure and not by way of limitation of scope.

The terms “a” and “an” herein do not denote a limitation of quantity, but rather denote the presence of at least one of the referenced items.

Referring now to FIG. 1, a front view of the water bottle cap means (herein described as the “cap”), according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, is disclosed. The cap provides a comfortable hand grip (6) which allows for easy access to the contents of the bottle. The Cap is fitted with quick release locking thread studs (2) which in connection with the quick release locking thread (5) allow for a tight seal and fast removal of the cap when needed. The rubber gasket (1) makes sure no liquid escapes from the bottle under any circumstances. The cap is fitted with a threaded rod hole (3) that allows many different types of devices to be attached/detached depending on the user's survival needs. The basic device that comes with the cap is the detachable blunt point end rod (4) used for safety/self defense. May other end rods will be available that help the user with safety/storage/purification/defense/survival/art/entertainment/creation/surveillance and many more areas.

Referring now to FIG. 2, a front view of the cap with the bottle. The quick release locking thread (5) is shown with cap attached. The rubber gasket (1) will provide enough resistance when the cap is screwed onto the bottle to keep the bottle closed and leak free. The quick release stud (2) will slide into a fitted grove at the end of the quick release thread (5) to lock the cap in place until the user decides to take the cap off. There will be versions of the cap made of BPA free plastic, aluminum, and the premium version made of food grade stainless steel.

It is envisioned that other styles and configurations of the present invention can be easily incorporated into the teachings of the present invention, and only one particular configuration shall be shown and described for purposes of clarity and disclosure and not by way of limitation of scope.
